  1. You snagged In the After on ARCycling?! Lucky! Also there is a white unicorn on that one book and that's awesome. Also, Perfect Ruin is ridiculously pretty!

  4. I don't know about "Shouldn't" business. Books are good. Wallet may say "noo" but listen to your heart. (By which I don'y mean that old song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCC_b5WHLX0) but that buying books is never a bad thing.

    YES TO MISTBORN. YES TO FRIENDS READING MORE BRANDON SANDERSSOOON. I love his books and Mistborn is definitely one of his best. Kelsier, Breeze, Elend, Vin... those characters are forever-favorites.

    I was reading Pixie's review for this series, and it made me want to share this link with both of you: http://stormlightarchive.wikia.com/wiki/Cosmere READ IT GILLY B. You know when you didnt listen to me and you regretted it? DO SO NOW AT YOUR OWN PERIL. We've proven I was right then (Krokodil gross) so trust I am again -- that link is interesante.

    I got very Chandler Bingish when my Perfect Ruin copy showed up today. Could that cover BE any more gorgeous?

  6. I bought myself a copy of Mistborn an embarrassingly long time ago, when Christina reviewed it, and I still haven't read it. But the blogging world is eating this book up, so SOON, I swear!

  9. Can't wait to see what you think of Perfect Ruin. I really enjoyed it...plus I can't stop pulling the book off my shelf just to admire and pet the pretty cover. I got an ARC but I bet the hardcover is even prettier! I picture all the little drawn bits being kind of indented maybe? Now I need to go to a bookstore and pet the hardcover.
